too bad for several afternoons, and was even able to work on a few online school things for the first time in a very long time.\u00a0 At her last neurologist appointment early this month, her new medication was increased slightly.\u00a0 It seems to be helping to control the aura (vision problems, ringing in the ears, etc.) that come along with her migraines, although the pain levels &amp; frequency of the migraines have not decreased much.\u00a0 Her next neurologist appointment will be November 19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\"
